Chapter: CH.77 - Louder Than ThoughtsREBECCA’s POV(FIRST DAY AS A MASTER)I walked inside our classroom and the first person who greeted me was Ibarra. He even bowed down a little like a true butler. I tried not to smile but it stretched out anyway.“Did you sleep well, my Chu?” He asked as he took my bag off my shoulder.I immediately saw the lowkey glances from the gang. I just shrugged it off and sat down on my chair.“I did sleep well. You?” I asked back.“With you on my mind? Not so good, Chu.” He teased and even winked after.I tried so hard not to squeal and start fangirling. Good thing Ginny cleared her throat and leaned on my desk.“Explain what this is Rebecca.” She demanded while her right brow was arched. It was obvious that Ginny was evading Ibarra’s stare.I let out an awkward laugh and leaned closer to her. “It… It just so happens that we’re already okay and that he’ll be good to me…”“From now on?” She suspiciously looked at me.I grinned. “For three days.”Her knuckles swiftly hit my head while she groa

Chapter: CH.76 - Hide, Rebecca!REBECCA’s POV(CURRENT TIMELINE)It’s been three days since I last visited the set. Not because I was busy, but because I heard Ibarra and Heiji has been visiting our school – looking for me. Knowing that they both have feelings for me since high school was making me anxious.I know, I know. Some would say that I’m lucky that someone has been loving me so dearly. Some would say that I’m acting irrational for hiding instead of facing them. But I am confused. Torn perhaps?“Torn because?”My body jolted as I heard Bianca’s voice. She looked at me puzzled.“Y-Yah! What are you? A mind reader?” I asked while staring at her with wide eyes. I couldn’t count how many times she’d suddenly break my thinking bubble and utter or ask the same thing I have in my head.“Girl, are you okay?” Her eyebrow raised. “After yapping so much, you suddenly turned silent. As if you… shut down.” She gave me an opened water bottle. “And torn was the last word you said.”“I said that?” It was my time to stare at

Chapter: CH.75 - The Reverse Play(REBECCA’s POV)I think my soul just left.This closeness. This unexpected, sweet tension between us… Ibarra’s gentle voice just eased my wounded heart! How can I keep acting mad when he’s like this?“But don’t ignore me.” He pleaded.My lips parted even wider. I never envisaged him to say this…. to act like this. And this was already breaking the wall I was trying to build.“I…”I held my breath for a moment. For I know the next thing he’ll say will break this sweet bubble that I’m in. He always knew how to crack moments like this and turn it into something undesirable.“I’ll let you control me at least till the pageant is finished.” He continued.“W-What?” I gaped at him – completely baffled.He momentarily looked away and let out a soft sigh – trying to hide the fact that he was having a hard time promising this act.“I… I said, I’ll be your servant for 3 days.”I gave him a deadpan stare. “Seriously? You’re offering it, yet you can’t even look into my eyes while you say it?”He lea

Chapter: CH.74 - Don't Ignore MeIBARRA’s POV(FEW DAYS LATER)I honestly thought that giving Rebecca her time to cool down would be a great strategy. Yet, the longer the days go by, the harder it gets to talk to her. The moment the bell rang for breaks, lunch, and even class dismissal, she’d immediately leave her seat.And I tried to approach her, to search for her before… But it would be either, she’s already with someone – talking or eating lunch with them or, Marciella would enter the frame.Damn Marciella.She doesn’t leave me in peace. She’d be all over me and repeatedly ask me to finally drop out.I let out a sigh while looking at the empty chair beside me.“Well, someone looked stressed.” Hera was smirking – as if she was telling me that I deserved it. “I told you to make your move last time.”I grunted as I dragged a palm on my face. “You think I didn’t? I searched the whole school but she…” Another frustrated sigh left my lips. “I didn’t saw her. But it seems she was closer than I thought she’d be.”“Tried t

Chapter: CH.73 - What?!REBECCA’s POV(THE DAY I DISAPPEARED)I have been trying to avoid Ibarra. Not just because Hera advised that he’ll be looking for me to talk about something, but because I despise the fact that he was still talking to Marciella when I left the clinic. And when I walked past him, he didn’t even bother to ask about what happened!Also, the way that woman smiled at me? God! It was devious! It was obviously saying that: Get lost! He chose me. And I couldn’t stop my eyes from rolling whenever I remember it.I had Judiel and Heiji monitor Ibarra so I could hide from him. The boys were obviously enjoying this. It didn’t even take them a few seconds to agree. While Mira… Well, we’re both tired of running and acting like a ninja around the school.“Rebecca! How long are we going to avoid him?” Mira asked – already dragging her feet as we cautiously walked along the hallway.“He’ll soon get tired!” I answered in a loud whisper as I pulled her closer.She let out a groan. “But it’s been an hour a

Chapter: CH.72 - IgnoredIBARRA’s POVI TRIED TO look for Rebecca everywhere, but I couldn’t seem to find her. Mirajane was also missing. I wanted to ask Heiji or Judiel since they are – and always were – updated about Rebecca’s whereabouts than anyone else. However, my ego was taking the best of me. I couldn’t muster myself to ask them since I know they will just give me a dead stare.I went back to my room – my lair – and sat on the couch. I let out a sigh and brushed my hair up. I stared blankly at the wall and a moment later, I finally felt the weight of my legs and feet from walking relentlessly. I stretched them out and let out a soft groan.“Knock! Knock!”My eyes immediately flew at the door. I almost stood up only to find Ginny peeking through the gap.“Is Rebecca here?” She completely opened the door.Another sigh left my lips as I leaned to rest my head. “Nope. Don’t know where she is.”She looked at me with her brow raised. “You?”“What?” I gave her the same look.She stared at me completely baffle

Chapter: Epilogue“I, CALEB ROSS, TAKE thee, Sunrise Dawn Zabel, as my lawfully wedded wife. Whatever may come our way, I promise to take care of you, protect you and to love you till I drew my last breath. God gave you to me when I almost believe that I will end up alone in this world. He gave me a reason to hold onto love, he gave me so much reason to love you. Some of it didn’t really make sense at first. I never asked God to give me a woman who do awesome lap dance! But then you came.”I chuckled even though I was crying so hard. With Caleb staring at me like this, and while hearing him say all of this, it was melting my heart.“I never thought this day would come… When I’d be excited to come home because I know, you and Sunny are there waiting for me. I love you more than anything else.” He kissed the back of my hand and I felt his lips trembling. He must have been trying so hard to stop himself

Chapter: Welcome, Sunny!THE MOMENT BABY SUNNY was given to us, tears immediately surged from my eyes. It was a magical moment when I carried her in my arms. I had this wonderful feeling - like a strong bond was built within us.I looked at Dawn who was also crying in joy. I felt so proud of her. She was able to give birth without any complication. A brave woman with a soft heart. My heart beat faster as I stared at the two angels that God sent me.It made me sob even more. I am so grateful that I have them in my life.I never really thought that someone like her will come into my life. I was actually slowly accepting the fact that I'll grow old alone and single but God… He gave me a chance to live happily."Can I hold her?" Dawn asked in a faint voice."Yes love." I answered and tried to contain my tears.I placed baby Sunny on top of her but didn't rea

Chapter: Unexpected SurpriseI HAPPILY NODDED and took my time to walk home. Carrying this watermelon-like tummy was hard. It feels like you are carrying 6000 ml of water with two hands. There were times when my knees suddenly wobble, but thank God there's always someone there to catch me or assist me to sit down.Well, I'm happy that this was about to end. And I'm excited to meet our baby.My brows furrowed when I went inside the house. It was silent but I saw shoes outside."Cass?" I called out but no one answered.Where the hell is he?I suddenly noticed that Dusk's room door was slightly opened. Whenever Cass visited us, he always used that room so I thought he was just changing but I felt something different this time. Like someone was pushing me to check the room.Out of curiosity, I walked closer and peaked at the opened door and there I saw&h

Chapter: The Premiere Night"LOVE, DO I LOOK okay?" I asked and glanced at Caleb with a half-smile on my lips. My seven months baby bump was calling the attention of whoever looked at me.I was wearing a white flowy gown with a glittery gold belt. Don't worry, it's just actually a garter so it wouldn’t hurt my baby Sunny. My dress looks like the one being worn by Greek Goddesses - but, the maternity version. It has a plunging neckline with extra silky cloth on the shoulders. I had a jacket ready in case I won’t be able to handle the coldness inside the cinema.I had my hair bun up, decorated with white and gold flower pins. I curled some of my hair and let it loose.Caleb didn't react so I felt worried."What? Too much?" I checked myself again in front of the mirror.He stood up and went behind me. I looked at him through his reflection and saw him smirk. His hands glided from m

Chapter: Back Home"SUGARPLUM!" POPS GREETED me with excitement. He was already outside when we arrived. I hugged him and kissed him on his cheek."Where's Mom?""She's at the store. Busy with inventories. The cake from Zen just arrived.""Hi Pops. How are you?" Caleb smiled and placed his hand on Pops' shoulder."Doing well son." He smiled back.You have no idea how close they became after finding out that I was pregnant and when he proposed to me.It was nice to watch them together.No more shotgun for Caleb, I guess.We went inside the house and sat on the couch in the living room."I watched your interview this morning." Pops said while looking at Caleb. "It went smooth, thanks to you."I squinted my eyes. "So, you'r

Chapter: Talk Show Part 2“AND WERE BACK FOLKS!” Chibi focused her eyes on us again. “What I wanted to confirm again is… Why was Dawn at Caleb’s unit at that time?”"I can explain that.” Caleb started. “So, the reason why she went to my unit was to practice with me. She's not a trained actress so she needed help with the script, emotion and all. It just so happened that when we were photographed, we were in character."“In character…” Chibi had a sly smile on her face. “Then to confirm, you were already acting before going inside the apartment? Didn’t it occurred to you that some paparazzi might find that useful for a scoop?”“It did occur. But it was too late for me to realize it.”In character my ass! If I know you’ve been wanting to touch me that day.&ldquo
